Hey desperate, I'm across the Hudson in Jersey and today's the first bearable day in a long time. Take care of yourself in that non-air conditioned office, and stay away from alcohol and caffiene. They'll drain the fluids right out of you.

Yes, CairoBound, that seems to be the case. We have to call to see when they get our case and assign a number.

As for I-130 vs. I-129f, I still believe our K3 will unite us quicker, which is what we want. We're a only a day's drive to Montreal, so we could go back there for the CR-1 interview. But everyone's different. Some may not be close to their Embassy, or may want to work immediately, or would rather do AOS. How about you?

I am thinking twice ( not of giving up) about this, to await the approval of the K3 and then ajust here, the I130 is taking forever.

Is it possible to adjust here if the I130 has been approved already ? ( I am a little confused on that)
